pursuant to the provisions of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law (the School

District Refunding Bonds or the Refunding Bonds), it being anticipated that the

Section 2. The Refunding Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity upon

such terms as the President of the Board of Education shall prescribe, which terms

shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 53.00 (b) of the Local

Finance Law. If less than all of the Refunding Bonds of any maturity are to be

redeemed, the particular refunding bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be

selected by the School District by lot in any customary manner of selection as

determined by the President of the Board of Education. Notice of such call for

redemption shall be given by mailing such notice to the registered owners not less

than thirty (30) days prior to such date. Notice of redemption having been given as

aforesaid, the bonds so called for redemption shall, on the date for redemption set

forth in such call for redemption, become due and payable, together with interest to

such redemption date, and interest shall cease to be paid thereon after such

redemption date.

The Refunding Bonds shall be issued in registered form and shall not be registrable to

fifteenth day of the calendar month or first business day of the calendar month

preceding each interest payment date as appropriate and as provided in a

certificate of the President of the Board of Education providing for the details of the

Refunding Bonds. Principal shall only be payable upon surrender of bonds at the

principal corporate trust office of a bank or trust company or banks or trust

companies located or authorized to do business in the State of New York, as shall

hereafter be designated by the President of the Board of Education as fiscal agent of

the School District for the Refunding Bonds (collectively the Fiscal Agent).

Refunding Bonds in certificated form may be transferred or exchanged at any time

prior to maturity at the principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent for bonds of

the same maturity of any authorized denomination or denominations in the same

aggregate principal amount.

Principal and interest on the Refunding Bonds will be payable in lawful money of the

United States of America.

The President of the Board of Education, as chief fiscal officer of the School District, is

hereby authorized and directed to enter into an agreement or agreements

containing such terms and conditions as he shall deem proper with the Fiscal Agent,

for the purpose of having such bank or trust company or banks or trust companies

act, in connection with the Refunding Bonds, as the Fiscal Agent for said School

District, to perform the services described in Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law,

and to execute such agreement or agreements on behalf of the School District,

regardless of whether the Refunding Bonds are initially issued in certificated or non-

certificated form; provided, however, that the President of the Board of Education is

also hereby authorized to name the School District Clerk as the Fiscal Agent in

connection with the Refunding Bonds if said Refunding Bonds are issued in non-

certificated form.

The President of the Board of Education is hereby further delegated all powers of this

Board of Education with respect to agreements for credit enhancement, derived

from and pursuant to Section 168.00 of the Local Finance Law, for said Refunding

Bonds, including, but not limited to the determination of the provider of such credit

enhancement facility or facilities and the terms and contents of any agreement or

agreements related thereto.

The Refunding Bonds shall be executed in the name of the School District by the

manual or facsimile signature of the President of the Board of Education or President

of the Board of Education, and a facsimile of its corporate seal shall be imprinted

thereon. In the event of facsimile signature, the Refunding Bonds shall be

authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer or employee of the

Fiscal Agent. The Refunding Bonds shall contain the recital required by subdivision 4

of paragraph j of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law and the recital of validity

clause provided for in Section 52.00 of the Local Finance Law and shall otherwise be

in such form and contain such recitals, in addition to those required by Section 51.00

of the Local Finance Law, as the President of the Board of Education shall determine.

It is hereby determined that it is to the financial advantage of the School District not

to impose and collect from registered owners of the Refunding Bonds any charges

for mailing, shipping and insuring bonds transferred or exchanged by the Fiscal

Agent, and, accordingly, pursuant to paragraph c of Section 70.00 of the Local

Finance Law, no such charges shall be so collected by the Fiscal Agent.

Section 3. It is hereby determined that:

(a) the maximum amount of the Refunding Bonds authorized to be issued pursuant to

this resolution does not exceed the limitation imposed by subdivision 1 of paragraph

b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law;

(b) the maximum period of probable usefulness permitted by law at the time of the

issuance of the Refunded Bonds for the object or purpose for which such Refunded

Bonds were issued is thirty years;

(c) the last installment of the Refunding Bonds will mature not later than the

expiration of the period of probable usefulness of the object or purpose for which

said Refunded Bonds were issued in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 1

of paragraph c of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law;

(d) the estimated present value of the total debt service savings anticipated as a

result of the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, if any, computed in accordance with

the provisions of subdivision 2 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance

Law, is $944,290.14, as shown in the Refunding Financial Plan described in Section 4

hereof.

Section 4. The financial plan for the refunding authorized by this resolution (the

Refunding Financial Plan), showing the sources and amounts of all moneys

required to accomplish such refunding, the estimated present value of the total debt

service savings and the basis for the computation of the aforesaid estimated present

value of total debt service savings, are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and

made a part of this resolution. The Refunding Financial Plan has been prepared

based upon the assumption that the Refunding Bonds will be issued in a single series

to refund all of the Refunded Bonds in the principal amount of $15,970,000, and that

the Refunding Bonds will mature, be of such terms, and bear interest as set forth on

Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part of this resolution. This Board of Education

recognizes that the Refunding Bonds may be issued in series, and for only one or

more of the Refunded Bonds, or portions thereof, that the amount of the Refunding

Bonds, maturities, terms, and interest rate or rates borne by the Refunding Bonds to

be issued by the School District will most probably be different from such assumptions

and that the Refunding Financial Plan will also most probably be different from that

attached hereto as Exhibit A. The President of the Board of Education is hereby

authorized and directed to determine which of the Refunded Bonds will be refunded

and at what time, the amount of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, the date or

dates of such bonds and the date or dates of issue, maturities and terms thereof, the

provisions relating to the redemption of Refunding Bonds prior to maturity, whether

the Refunding Bonds will be insured by a policy or policies of municipal bond

insurance or otherwise enhanced by a credit enhancement facility or facilities,

whether the Refunding Bonds shall be sold at a discount in the manner authorized by

paragraph e of Section 57.00 of the Local Finance Law, and the rate or rates of

interest to be borne thereby, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be issued having

substantially level or declining annual debt service and all matters related thereto,

and to prepare, or cause to be provided, a final Refunding Financial Plan for the

Refunding Bonds and all powers in connection therewith are hereby delegated to

the President of the Board of Education; provided, that the terms of the Refunding

Bonds to be issued, including the rate or rates of interest borne thereby, shall comply

with the requirements of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. The President of the

Board of Education shall file a copy of his certificate determining the details of the

Refunding Bonds and the final Refunding Financial Plan with the School District Clerk

not later than ten (10) days after the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as herein

provided.

Section 5. The President of the Board of Education is hereby authorized and directed

to enter into an escrow contract or contracts (collectively the Escrow Contract)

with a bank or trust company, or with banks or trust companies, located and

authorized to do business in this State as said President shall designate (collectively

the Escrow Holder) for the purpose of having the Escrow Holder act, in connection

with the Refunding Bonds, as the escrow holder to perform the services described in

Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law.

Section 6. The faith and credit of said City School District of the City of Peekskill,

Westchester County, New York, are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of

the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same respectively

become due and payable. An annual appropriation shall be made in each year

sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such bonds becoming due and

payable in such year. There shall be annually levied on all the taxable real property

in said School District a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such

Refunding Bonds as the same become due and payable.

Section 7. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, including the

premium, if any, but excluding accrued interest thereon, shall immediately upon

receipt thereof be placed in escrow with the Escrow Holder for the Refunded Bonds.

Accrued interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be paid to the School District to be

expended to pay interest on the Refunding Bonds. Such proceeds as are deposited

in the escrow deposit fund to be created and established pursuant to the Escrow

Contract, whether in the form of cash or investments, or both, inclusive of any interest

earned from the investment thereof, shall be irrevocably committed and pledged to

the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds in accordance

with Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, and the holders, from time to time, of

the Refunded Bonds shall have a lien upon such moneys held by the Escrow Holder.

Such pledge and lien shall become valid and binding upon the issuance of the

Refunding Bonds and the moneys and investments held by the Escrow Holder for the

Refunded Bonds in the escrow deposit fund shall immediately be subject thereto

without any further act. Such pledge and lien shall be valid and binding as against all

parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the School

District irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.

Section 8. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, so long as any of the

Refunding Bonds shall be outstanding, the School District shall not use, or permit the

use of, any proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds in any manner which

would cause the Refunding Bonds to be an arbitrage bond as defined in Section

148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, to the extent

applicable, the Regulations promulgated by the United States Treasury Department

thereunder.

Section 9. In accordance with the provisions of Section 53.00 and of paragraph h of

Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, in the event such bonds are refunded, the

School District hereby elects to call in and redeem each of Refunded Bonds which

the President of the Board of Education shall determine to be refunded in

accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof and with regard to which the

right of early redemption exists. The sum to be paid therefor on such redemption

date shall be the par value thereof plus the redemption premium, as provided in the

Refunded Bond Certificate, and the accrued interest to such redemption date. The

Escrow Agent for the Refunding Bonds is hereby authorized and directed to cause

notice of such call for redemption to be given in the name of the School District in

the manner and within the times provided in the Refunded Bond Certificate. Such

notice of redemption shall be in substantially the form attached to the Escrow

Contract. Upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the election to call in and

redeem the callable Refunded Bonds and the direction to the Escrow Agent to

cause notice thereof to be given as provided in this paragraph shall become

irrevocable, provided that this paragraph may be amended from time to time as

may be necessary in order to comply with the publication requirements of

paragraph a of Section 53.00 of the Local Finance Law, or any successor law thereto.

Section 10. The Refunding Bonds shall be sold at private or public sale to such

purchaser (the Underwriter) as shall be determined by the President of the Board of

Education for purchase prices to be determined by the President of the Board of

Education, plus accrued interest from the date or dates of the Refunding Bonds to

the date or dates of the delivery of and payment for the Refunding Bonds. It is

currently the intent to sell the Refunding Bonds to the Dormitory Authority.

Section 11. The President of the Board of Education and all other officers, employees

and agents of the School District are hereby authorized and directed for and on

behalf of the School District to execute and deliver all certificates and other

documents, perform all acts and do all things required or contemplated to be

executed, performed or done by this resolution or any document or agreement

approved hereby.

Section 12. All other matters pertaining to the terms and issuance of the Refunding

Bonds shall be determined by the President of the Board of Education and all powers

in connection thereof are hereby delegated to the President of the Board of

Education.

Section 13. The validity of the Refunding Bonds may be contested only if:

1. Such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which said School

District is not authorized to expend money, or

2. The provisions of law which should be complied with at the date of publication of

this resolution are not substantially complied with,

and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within

twenty days after the date of such publication, or

3. Such obligations are authorized in violation of the provisions of the Constitution.

Section 14. A summary of this resolution, which takes effect immediately, shall be
